ETHBAAL, king of Sidon, 1 Kin. 16:31.

ETHBAAL [SMITH]

(with Baal), king of Sidon and father of Jezebel. (1 Kings 16:31) Josephus represents him as a king of the Tyrians as well as of the Sidonians. We may thus identify him with Eithobalus, who, after having assassinated Pheles, usurped the throne of Tyre for thirty-two years. The date of Ethbaal?s reign may be given as about B.C. 940-908.
